Default RE: Nice engine not seen yet??

Well it was a little scary buy I knew it would be some time before the real conversion was ready to run, so I put the flywheel back on and gave it a run. The scary part was the rubber carburetor intake tube jumping all over the place. That along with the make shift throttle cable hooked to it at bad angle made it very touchy to say the least. I wasn't about to give a second run with a different prop either.

First and only run with stock mag ignition and no muffler spun a 21x8 Menz S @ 7400 rpm. It did peak a bit higher but sagged down to that rpm leading me to believe it was a slightly lean run.

I'd say it will do well once properly converted.
